Though Texas Senator John Tower has been his front man, in recent weeks Senator Norris Cotton of New Hampshire and ex-California Senator William Knowland have boarded his bandwagon. In Ohio, Industrialist George Humphrey, Ike's Treasury Secretary, is drumming up business support. Canny Lawyer Herbert Brownell, Ike's Attorney General, has been turning up lately at Goldwater rallies. And enough money is rolling into Goldwater coffers to impress even a Rockefeller. "Hell," said a Chicago Republican after a draft-Goldwater meeting, "someone said something about money, and within ten minutes we had $375,000 pledged...
Actually, the list omits much of what working Presidents really read. Teddy Roosevelt gobbled two books a day on almost anything. F.D.R. doted on detective stories, Ike went for Westerns, and Kennedy has made Ian Fleming famous. The new library offers no such surcease. It is sober, scholarly, and just a bit grey...

For, unfortunately, the Town Meeting had been seen only in America, and although Ike could see his three fellow conversationalists, none of them could see him, or one another. As air time neared, the French government had decided that the remarks of the old gentlemen, particularly Monnet, might be inimical to the views of their own Old Gentleman, so they refused...
